Inside the “super ice”

Caption

Inside the “super ice”: (a–c) Scanning Electron Microscope images of freeze-dried samples reveal the network formed by tiny cellulose crystals. The top row shows the material magnified 40 times, and the bottom row 90 times. (d) The graph compares the size of the network’s pores when the antifreeze protein AFPIII was added alone and when it was joined to the cellulose-binding protein CBM3a. Eight sample sections were analyzed for each material.
